This dress may not be an item you specifically look for, but I cannot imagine living without it.

I fell in love with the cut and color when I saw it on a hanger on a  recent trip to Nordstrom to pick up a gift. One of those shopping trips that is planned solely for another reason, yet you walk out with a totally unrelated item.  Often these type of shopping purchases turn out to provide one with a beloved piece.

This dress hits the mark on so many levels. First, it will not break your bank. Second, the way it sits is so flattering and incredibly comfortable for hot summer days. I love to wear linen in summer. I have rocked it on a ride to the park, as a beach cover up for a pool gathering and even dinner out jazzed up with some heels. Last, it is a super versatile item you will not regret having. Style it with a denim jacket and one of those straw bags that is so trendy now.

This dress is definitely getting packed for my trip to Ibiza. I can wear it beach side, around town or out to dance. What item are you living in this Summer?
